Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continues to be held in high public esteem despite ongoing Republican criticism for her handling of the deadly attack in Benghazi, Libya, according to the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll released Tuesday.
The poll found a huge majority of Americans — 62 percent — approve of the way Clinton, who stepped down from her post earlier this year, handled her job at the State Department compared with 28 percent who said they disapprove of her job performance. Those numbers are little different from an ABC/WaPo poll in December of last year, when 68 percent said they approved of her job at State and 22 percent said they disapproved.
